hen the mud and dirt are flying, you’re gonna need the periscope washer and
blower. It doesn’t take much mud, dirt and sand to clog the washer nozzles and air
blower holes. So a little PM now will keep them both working later.

f you’ve got big feet (or even little ones), you need to protect the light-emitting
diode (LED) on your Bradley’s vehicle distribution box.
The
SLAVE
RECEPTACLE
POWER light gets snapped off if a
driver or mechanic doesn’t watch
where he puts his feet when entering
or leaving the driver’s compartment.
Switch guard, NSN 5930-00-687-
1079, will protect the LED. That’s the
guard that’s already protecting the S2
toggle switch. Using it on the LED
will keep the light burning bright
when the slave receptacle is powered.
The operator’s
manual tells you
to use the washer
and blower during
your weekly PMCS.
That’s to make sure
it works, so thinking
you have a clean
periscope is not an
excuse for avoiding
this check.
You’ll Fnd the washer switch and blower knob on the driver’s lighting control
module. Press up and hold the spring-loaded washer switch to spray cleaner on the
periscopes. Turn the blower knob clockwise to send out blasts of air. The farther you
turn the knob, the shorter the interval between air blasts.
After checking the
washer and blower, don’t
forget to take a look at the
washer reservoir. If it’s
low, Fll it with windshield

Keep this PMCS check
in mind and your Stryker
will be stylin’ in no time.
